Serena Williams two-times winner of the tournament is back at the Open Gaz de France after a long year of absence. The youngest of the Williams recovered pretty well by winning the first Grand Slam of the season in Australia. Meet the great favourite of the week. Q:What did you do since Melbourne ? I took some holydays in Asia to relax a little. But I didn't celebrate too much because the season has just started and it's still a long way to go. I am getting a lot of rest and trying to keep my energy for the matches. I didn't even go for shopping yet since I am in Paris. 小威終於清醒了XD.好好專心吧 Q:Is there a love story between you and the Open Gaz de France ? I've always liked this city and specially the Open Gaz de France. That was my first win on the WTA Tour and I like it because it's a cosy tournament. I don't feel too much pressure here, which is cool. Besides, I take any chance or opportunity to come to Paris. Q:After an eight month injury, is the real Serena definitely back ? My knee is nearly at 100%. I don't have any apprehension at all and I'm excited playing at this level again. My victory at the Australian Open was a great relief especially after such a long absence. It gives me a lot of momentum for the rest of the season and a lot of confidence too. Q:Do you want to be WTA NO.1 again this season ? My goals are to win Grand Slams and important tournaments. If I do so, I believe the ranking will pretty much come with it.(laughters) The NO.1 raking is difficult to reach because you have to stay focused and dedicated during the whole year. Q:What kind of relations do you have with the French public ? To be honest, I like Paris so much that I also like its public. Whenever I come here, I always play against French players and the crowd is always going "Allez Amelie!" or "Allez Nathalie!" I am used to it now and it doesn't bother me. Like I told you, I love French people, I love Paris and I love the language. Q:What will you be wearing this week on the court ? I will wear some flowing fun skirts and a lot of cut outs on my top. You will see a lot a skin ! --
